The drawing is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we can see that AB and DE are both adjacent sides of their respective triangles.

While, CE and BC are both opposite sides of their respective triangles

Now, from your side, x is the distance to the island.

So, from ratio of similar triangles, we can find x.

Thus;

8/x = 3/9

Cross multiply to get;

8 × 9 = 3x

3x = 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

Thus, distance from your side to the island is 24 yards

\frac{3x - 2}{x^{2} - 2x - 3} - \frac{1}{x - 3} = \frac{3x  -2}{(x + 1)(x - 3)} - \frac{1}{x - 3} = \frac{3x - 2}{(x + 1)(x - 3)} - \frac{1(x + 1)}{(x + 1)(x - 3)} = \frac{3x - 2}{(x + 1)(x - 3)} - \frac{x + 1}{(x + 1)(x - 3)} = \frac{2x - 3}{(x + 1)(x - 3)}

The measure of angle RML is of 130º.

<h3>What is the value of x?</h3>

Angle NML is the sum of angles NMR and RML, hence:

NML = NMR + RML.

The given measures of the angles are:

  • NML = 156º.
  • NMR = 26º.

Hence we can solve the equation for RML to find the measure of angle RML, as follows:

NML = NMR + RML

156 = 26 + RML

RML = 130º.

The measure of angle RML is of 130º.

A similar problem, in which the measures of the angles are calculated, is given at brainly.com/question/25716982

Let A be a 4 x 5 matrix and Let B be a 4 x 4 matrix. Suppose you were asked to multiply matrix A times matrix B. When multiplied
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

b. false

Step-by-step explanation:

when multiplying matrixes the number of columns of the first matrix must be equal as the number of rows of the second matrix, and since here matrix A has 4 columns but matrix B has 5 rows they can't be multiplied

What is the answer what should I write down I will mark you the Brainlyiest 40 points so do it good!

First you can count multiples of 7 all the way up to 84. 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77,and 84.
Or you can do 7 x 12 equals 84.
Second write down the long division way 84/7.
7 goes into 8 one time write 7 at the top then write one at the bottom bring down the 4 and make it 14
you know 7 x 2 = 14 so 12 x 7 equals 14.
